JOKE ON HICKEY .
He Makes an Investment in
Chinese Wheat.

They are telling a joke up the
Valley on T. Is. Hickey which is
too good to keep out of print.
About two weeks ago China
man passing along the county call
ed at Rickey's ranch and wanted to
grub sage brush for his dinner,
Hickey told him he could eat, but
there was no sage brush to grub
near the house. The Chinaman
had small sack on his back. Aft
er dinner the sack upset somehow
and o lot OF wheat rolled on the
floor. Hickey happened to be in
at the time and saw the wheat,
it made his eyes bulge. He picked
up some of the kernels and was as
tonished to find them about four
times as large as any wheat he had
ever seen. He asked the China
man to give him some but he re-
fused saying that the wheat came
from China and it had cost him
cheap money" to get the wheat.
The more Hickey saw of the
wheat the more he wanted it and
finally offered the Chinaman $25 for
the sack which had about thirty
pounds in it.
The Chinaman turned up his
nose at the offer and said the wheat
cost more than that to get it from
China.
Hickey studied the proposition a
while and decided that he was
bound to be the first man to intro
duce that mammoth wheat into the
United States, he calculated that
few stalks of such wheat would
make loaf of bread. He finally
spread out five twenties under the
Chinaman's nose and offered him a
place to work on the ranch for one
year.
Well, John he finally let so the
wheat and took his money. He
was then installed as q ranch hand
and told to go to work in the morn
ing In the morning he was gone,
but Hickey didn't mind that as he
had the wheat. He showed it to
the ranch hands, and his foreman
whose curiosity was excited, bit one
of the kernels. 1t was not grain at
| all but flour moulded into the shape
| of wheat kernel almost as big as
a hazel nut.
Some yellow stain had been put
| on and the Heather had made such
a nice imitation that an old rancher
was fooled. When the foreman re-
vealed the fraud loud laugh went
up which caused Hickey to leave
the premises and come into Carson
and cool down. He looked hard for
the Chinaman along the road but
did not find him. He thinks the
Chinaman took some other road.
He had considerable fun chatting
John Mackay on his wheat deal and
NOV bo ataars cloar of John for foor
that his own little wheat operation
will be discussed. 1t is only fair to
Tom, however, to say that he. is .
cattle expert and never claimed to
b . wheat sharp.

Almost In all places whrru the govern
ment subsidies the opera Il ballet school
Is maintained in connection with the opera
house. In these schools the little girls
are taught for nothing on Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons, which in Europe are
hR1f holidays In the public schools. The
children arc the offspring OF the poor, and
and ms the ballet is an ancient, honorable
and profitable vocation 1t is considered
grand good luck TO get II child in one OF
the schools. OF course in such n state OF
affairs the ballet teachers have their choice
u pupils and teach only the most apt.
The little ones begin ut about = years OF
age, and first are taught to walk and then
to posture and to waltz. They are taught
for two or three hours twice n week, and
IL IL II long time before they begin the
task OF developing their muscles by bold
and free leg movements, or of strengthen
ing their toes so rs to be able to walk
upon them. At about IA years OF age
they are regularly employed In the ballet
as supernumernries, and when they get in
''the lines as the ballet ranks are called,
they get $40 to $l2 II month. They have
TO begin la the last rank or row furthest
from the footlights, and to work their way
gradually up to the front rank. Their pay
increases as they 20 forward, and they ad-
vance as their skill and grace and ease Of
movement are developed. They dance
seven nights II week.
The best schools are Ia Milan, Turin,
Warsaw, Berlin and Vienna. In Berlin
there ARE eighty or ninety pupils, in
Vienna 100 or more New York Sun.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off OF revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers as well MS reliev-
ing the burden Of. home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green

Syrup, as the reduction of thirty.six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rene.
dies, thereby giving one.inh more medi

SEVERAL. WELL kep1 SECRETS.
How Mr. Arthur Came Near Dying when
President.

NOW htr. Arthur Came hehr Dying Nhch
President
DIR. Lincoln, one OF the most prominent
of the physicians here, was the regular
attendant of President Arthur. Since the
latter's death the doctor has given an &C
count of w serious attacks OF illness
of Arthur when he was president about
which the public has never heard n word.
Arthur came near dying three times, once
while vice-president and twice while he
was president. One attack which nearly
carried him off, and which is known to
the public, occurred on board the ITALIA
poosa when Mr.. Arthur was absent on his
Florida trip. The news of this attack got
out, and within n few days afterward
exAc details of the danger through which
the president had passed were given. These
stories were at that time denied at the
White House in the most positive and
dogmatic way. The president was so sen
sitiye upon the subject of his health that
the ~obsequious members of his personal
staff felt called upon to make denials of
what they knew TO be true.
DIR. Lincoln says that there We're two
other occasions when the president came
as near dying as upon the occasion of his
Florida trip. His first serious attack &C
Cured In Senator Jones house on Capitol
hill, when Arthur was yicc-president.
This attack took place during Arthur's
visit 10 Washington in July, after he had
been called here TO await the result OF
Garfield's wounds. Mr.. Arthur at that
time was weighed dow with worry and
responsibility. He was n very emotional
man. The criticisms of that time, the ex-
element OF his surroundings, and the re-
sponsibility which WAS threatening to
come upon his shoulders made II combina-
finp ~ on u-arI 4 ptInanra xuhi.b lnprauua1
him very much. Then he caught cold,
and this cold brought on an attack OF ner-
vous rheumatism. DR.. Lincoln was sum
moned TO attend him one night and found
Mr.. Arthur in II very dangerous condition.
DIR. Lincoln really thought he would die.
TN news VI this attack was we'll kept.
Not IA single member of the Garfield cab
met ever knew 1t. The knowledge was
confined to DIR. Lincoln and Senator Jones.
Mo- even the servant were given to I'M
derstand that the illness was anything
more than AN ordinary cold. Think what
n sensation was suppressed by this close
mouthed doctor Garfield was lying at
the point OF u1'ath at the White House
and his successor for twenty four hours
was at the point ur death in another part
OF the town.
The second occasion when DIR. Lincoln
was called In to stand M.tween Mr.. Arthur
and II second call Of deish WAS after Mr..
Arthur's return from tae Yellowstone
valley. This trip was ,ery. severe upon
him. Instead of henefting HIN the result
was serious injury. The roughing 1t, in
stead Of building him mp, pulled him down.
He had gotten beyond tho point when he
could stand such treatment. When he re-
turned from the west 10 the White House
he was in II most distressing condition.
